Annual Events
Walk for Autism: Located in Forest Park in downtown St. Louis, the walk occurs during the beginning of October each year. Order a team shirt to show your support. The walk is a great way to meet others whose lives are touched by autism while raising money for a great cause.
NSSLHA Loves Banquet: Each year, faculty, students, family and friends of those in the speech-language pathology and audiology program raise money for the SIUE Speech-Language-Hearing Center. Come enjoy a delicious meal, bid on baskets and other goodies in the silent auction, and challenge the faculty in a game of trivia. The banquet is a fun night to spend with faculty and friends!
Scholarships
The SIUE NSSLHA organization also offers scholarships for speech-language pathology majors or graduate students. The Traci Storey Memorial Scholarship is awarded each spring to help support students pursuing a career as a speech-language pathologist. Talk to an NSSLHA officer or email NSSLHA at nsslhasiue@yahoo.com for more information.
